Veritas

“The horrendous battle is no longer between Trojans and Achaeans, but now the Danaans are fighting even with the immortals.”

“Jove the Father created a third lineage of talking men, a brazen one, in no way similar to the silver one: sprung from ash-trees, violent and terrible.

They were keen on the works of Mars, bearers of grief,

and all sorts of violence; they ate no wheaten food,

but were hard of heart like adamant, fearful men.”

(HOMER, Iliad, and HESIOD, Works and Days, in: B.A. BORGESE, Rubè)
